"*" indicates required fields
Full‑Product Introduction for New Original IFM ISG291 Proximity Switch Sensor
1. Product Overview
The IFM ISG291 is an original inductive proximity sensor manufactured by IFM Electronics. It belongs to the standard IS‑series cylindrical proximity switches for non‑contact metal detection. This M18‑sized sensor adopts short‑circuit protection and reverse‑polarity protection design. It can identify ferrous metals without physical contact. The housing is constructed from nickel‑plated brass with a durable plastic sensing face. It outputs switching signal for PLC controllers in automation systems. The whole unit complies with IEC 60947‑5‑2, RoHS and CE standards for worldwide industrial‑field deployment. This new‑original sensor is designed for machine tools, conveyor lines and automated assembly stations to detect the presence of metal targets.
2. Main Functions
- Non‑contact metal detection
It senses ferrous metal objects without mechanical touching, eliminating abrasion caused by physical contact and extending service life.
- Stable switching output
It provides a reliable switching signal to the PLC when metal targets enter the effective sensing range, which triggers subsequent mechanical‑action logic.
- Built‑in circuit protection
Reverse‑polarity protection, short‑circuit protection and overload protection prevent the sensor from damage caused by wrong wiring or sudden current surges.
- Visual status indication
An integrated bright LED indicator shows working status clearly; users can judge working conditions on‑site conveniently during equipment debugging.
- High anti‑interference performance
Internal filter components restrain electromagnetic interference from motors and frequency converters, ensuring stable operation in harsh workshop environments.
- Flexible installation selection
Threaded‑body structure allows mounting via lock nuts. Users can choose flush‑mount or non‑flush‑mount installation according to practical site requirements.
